Why Energy Codes?

  • Energy Codes set minimum efficiency

requirements for new and renovated buildings, assuring reductions in energy use and emissions over the life of the

  • building. Energy Codes are a subset of

building codes, which establish baseline requirements and govern building construction.

  • Code buildings are more comfortable and

cost-effective to operate, assuring energy, economic and environmental benefits.

  • The relationship between the IBC and

the IECC

  • IECC addresses only energy topics
  • IBC addresses all topics (structural,

plumbing, etc.) in One book

  • IECC addresses both residential and

commercial construction; IBC addresses all

  • f the subsets of commercial construction

townhouses of any size and R-2, R-3, R-4 ≤ 3 stories

by definition; are “commercial”

Commercial Buil ildings Can Be Complicated!

Mixed Use Buildings

  • Treat the residential portion of the building

under applicable residential code

  • Treat the commercial portion of the

building under applicable commercial code

  • Code Official has the final authority

regarding compliance materials, software, worksheets, compliance options

Exempt Buildings

  • Buildings or portions of buildings that are

separated from remainder of building by building thermal envelope assemblies complying with C402 are exempt from the Envelope provisions if:

  • Peak design rate of energy < 3.4 Btu/h/ft2
  • r 1.0 watt/ft2 of floor area for space

conditioning purposes, OR
